YOU MAY WANT TO ALLOW FOR SOME EXTRA TIME. WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS, THE WEATHER COULD IMPACT VOTERS MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE POLLS. THERE'S STILL TIME TO VOTE FOR THE PRIMARY RUN-OFF. JENNIFER BAUER IS JOINING FROM THE WEST GRAY MULTI-SERVICE CENTER WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT ELECTION DAY TURNOUT. Reporter: VOTERS TRIED TO STAY DRY AS THEY HEADED TO THE POLLS TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS IN THE PRIMARY RUN-OFF ELECTION TODAY. THERE WAS A STEADY STREAM OF PEOPLE AT THIS POLLING PLACE OFF WEST GRAY IN THE RIVER OAKS AREA. I WOULD VOTE IF I HAD TO CRAWL HERE, BECAUSE IT IS A PRIVILEGE. I'LL BE HERE. I'M HERE. THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE ARE HERE. I HOPE PEOPLE TAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING GOOD CITIZENS AND COME TO VOTE. Reporter: ELECTION OFFICIALS TELL ME TODAY THEY WERE EXPECTING ABOUT 40,000 VOTERS IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY AND ABOUT 6 ,000 IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, BUT THE WEATHER DEFINITELY AFFECTED THOSE NUMBERS. WITH THE RAIN, WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO DO TWO-THIRDS, THREE-FOURTHS OF THAT AMOUNT, UNFORTUNATELY. HARRIS COUNTY CLERK SAYS THE WEATHER IS THE ONLY THING VOTERS ARE FACING. SOME EXPERIENCE A SURGE AT LUNCHTIME BECAUSE THE RAIN LET UP. POLLS CLOSE AT 7:00. AND ARE WE'RE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE THE RAIN, BUT WE'RE ALSO HAVE BLESSED TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY AND VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE
